I must admit, as everyone else, this is much smaller than the previous palette and the blushes. The blushes from the start are smaller than the powders so...imagine this. BUT , the quality is there, and if you don't want to buy the 6 in full-size, than this is for you!

You must see the bright side in anything!

If you're not a make-up artist and you want this just for yourself and for daily use, I mean everyday you wear make-up, than this is perfect for you!

If you want to use it just once a week, buy the products you like in one size and use it . But hey, who am I to tell you what to buy, you're a make-up collector and want to have it, go for it!

As other bloggers/vloggers stated, you get less products for the money - 80$ , but you have 6 small Hourglass products which have different uses.

It is stated on their website to be " everything you need to brighten , finish, highlight and contour " in one small , clutch sized palette. Yet, I must dissagree in some point.

Dim light and Diffused light are not matt, and neither Luminous bronze light...just these are not good for super oily skin types.

You can bronze up your face a bit with Liminous bronze light but you can't contour your nose with it...please, do not!

The packaging is very pretty , the same material as the previous palette and the full size products.

In October 2015, The Body Shopis launching its new fragrance Black Musk, following the traditional White Musk from 1981 and Red Musk from 2014.

Can't wait to smell it!

Shade adjusting drops

How cool is this?

This is something every MUA should have!

I was just searching on YouTube how to change the shade of your foundation...the only thing I could find and use was to use food coloring pigments...well, wasn't going to try that!

These are just genius!

How do they work?

1. Apply your foundation that you want to modify on the back of your hand , so that the product warms up and you can work easier with it.

2. Apply the shade adjusting drops you want to use - light or dark .

3. Voila. You have a mathcing foundation now!

Its formula is light and let's the skin breath. Is infused with English rose water and aloe vera, both 100% from organic sources. It claimes not to log the pores.

The finish it is said to be semi-mat with a hind of glow. Hmmm

The Lightening shade has a concentration of white and pink pigments which help lightening the shade of your darker foundation , while neutralizing the yellow in the olive toned foundations.

1 Drop = 1/2 shade lighter

The Darkening shade has a concentration of black and red undertones , keeping this way the deep tones of the dark foundations.

Fianlly a new Perfume of the week. It's not that I don't want to write about them , it's because I almost wrote about every perfume I own . Oh wel.., still some left, so watch out!

You know I have a passion for perfumes....I like to collect them, and wear each and every single day another perfume! Sometimes I abuse of some, in a nice way, wear them days in row, but! I am not a typical person when it comes to pufs. I don't like to spray 20 puffs on me...I usually go for 3... is that too little? Or too much?
I know friends or guys who spray literally 15-20 puffs once. Leave me in the comments section what do you think!

So today I will show you my first Romanian perfume,Irresistible Women by Gerovital .
I am not obsessed with zodiac signs, but I am pretty sure the description of this perfume describes a Libra...

The bottle is very similar to Givenchy Irresistible Me, but the scent is not similar at all.

The bottle is glass while the cap is plastic. Even though , I like the design and the box.

The perfume is described as a floral bouquet with some woody accents.

I find it summery, kinda sweet , elegant and sensual.

It's note include rose, raspberries, vanilla and mosk.

On my skin it lasts 4 to 6 hours, depends.

Now that Farmec has opened stores in France, Greece, Italy etc, you will find it in stores or online.

So here it is the hoghly requested video - What's in My Bag Tag. Even though it is in Romanian you can still see the products I carry with me around .

I mentioned in the video I take these with me when I am usually out for half a day or all day. When I go out for dinner or a movie, I take a small bag with me carrying only my wallet, phone and lipstick.

I don't like to pe surprised out and get desprate that is why I have a little bit of everything.

I received this colourful package a while ago from thebodyneeds2.com and I really wanted to show you up-close photos of the products. At the end of the post you will see the first tutorial I did using a couple of pigments .

So thebodyneeds is an American company selling their own brand of products and MAC products in fraction, everything original , of course. I have purchased from them in the past and everything went irreproachably.

Autumn and winter is the time of the year when I take out from the stash a tonn of lip care products and I take good care of my lips, since I hate dry skin on them and, I must admit it hurts when they break.
Another reason why I take good care of my lips is lipstick . As you may know, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, I am a lipstick addict - and patchy lips is never in trend. I hate when lipstick looks bad on dry lips , so I prefer to not forget.

There are many brands I likeand I use, but today I am going to tell you some beauty news since Nivea is launching 3 new coloured lip balms.

They are called Care and Colour lip balsm and they come in 3 colours - nude, rose and red. None of them is super strong, so don't worry. They will give you a nice coloured touch to your lips.

The lip balms have a innovative formula for an intense feeling of softness:

The middle part contains panthenol that nourishes from the inside towards the sensitive skin of the lips, while the outer layer gives them bright colors and offers freshness.
